J Studenski and C van de Vin both played a very dangerous game putting other cars in danger and we cant tolerate that kind of behavior. Both drivers are now on probation!

It usually go up the day after the race, however we do not wish to update the mod all the time - with some issues people have, so we are sorting out divisions.
Im heading to SimExpo on thursday, so thats kinda like my very last deadline.
I do expect it to be tomorrow (well today) or wednesday.

Everything will be released tonight - before midnight, a bit of editing to do and then we are good to go. Again this is usually not how long a track release is waiting, we just have this little thing called divisions that needs to be sorted

Saying there were crashes in the last season as an example against why we should have classes going a very similar speed on the straights is irrelevant to the current issue. The only way to test this would be to hold some small test races to collect data and experience. I'm sure you'd get some volunteers.

There seems to be a cut issue in the exit of T3/entry to T4. If you go on the grass before T4 entry you usually get a cut. Going on the grass there almost always causes you to go on the grass and losing the lap so the cut warning there is a bit odd.
